At noon the next day, a teaching assistant took Fanning to Liu's room, "Master, he's here." ”

"Oh! Fanning is here. ”

Courtyard Master Liu smiled, got up and said, "Please come in!" ”

Fanning came in and saluted, "Is there something wrong with the courtyard master?" ”

"Sit down and take a sip of hot tea!"

Master Liu asked him to sit down, and the tea boy served them tea.

"On the night of Shangyuan, our Yanying Academy is famous, two students fight scriptures, one is Xu Ji, and the other is not known who it is, I guess it should be you!"

Fanning didn't know about the county taxi selection competition at this time, but he was very annoyed in his heart.

He heard early this morning that Xu Ji's grandfather had come to Master Liu two days ago.

It is said that he wants to apologize to Xu Ji in front of everyone in the school, otherwise Xu Ji will be transferred to another school.

Could it be that the master of the Liu Courtyard is looking for himself, just for this matter?

"It's really me, if the academy owner thinks that I affect the image of the academy and wants to punish me, I have no opinion, but don't mention anything like that if you want me to apologize."

"Wait!"

Courtyard Master Liu hurriedly stopped Fan Ning, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't blame you, what did you hear?" ”

Fanning nodded, "Some people say that I am undermining the unity of the Yanying Academy, because because of me, the Yanying Academy is unable to form a team to participate in the county priest selection competition, and it is said that the chief professor of the Fuxue has also put pressure on the academy master." ”

The head of the Liu Academy looked at Fan Ning for a long time, and said lightly: "This statement is a bit exaggerated, Yanqing Academy will never refuse to participate in the selection of county magistrates because of a certain student.

As for who pressures me, don't take it to heart, although I, Liu Yantong, am thin, I still have a few taels of bones, and you don't need to apologize to anyone. ”

Fan Ning was moved in his heart, and got up to salute the master of the Liu Academy, "The students are grateful for the love of the students!" ”

"Sit down! Sit down! ”

The master of the Liu courtyard smiled and asked Fan Ning to sit down, and said to Fan Ning seriously: "Because you are the grandson of Fan Gong, you will attract many people's jealousy, maybe someone still wants to please some powerful people in the court, so they deliberately step on you, the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, there are villains everywhere, don't pay attention to them." ”

Fan Ning nodded silently, Qingli innovation, Fan Zhongyan offended a lot of powerful people, in order to protect himself, Fan Zhongyan insisted on not letting himself stay in the capital and let him go back to his hometown to study.

But even if this is the case, there will still be villains like the Xu family who shoot themselves with dark arrows.

There is only one way to deal with this kind of villain, to return it to others in its own way.

Running away will only make them more arrogant.

Seeing that Fan Ning was silent, he smiled again: "I called you here today to talk to you about the county taxi selection competition. ”

Fanning took a sip of hot tea and didn't speak.

Master Liu looked at him and continued: "We Yanying Academy got five places to participate, so I decided to form two teams to participate, and Zhao Xuezheng has agreed. ”

"Aren't there only three spots?" Fanning was a little stunned.

Courtyard Master Liu sighed softly, "This matter has been full of twists and turns, speaking of which, you have to thank Zhu Pei and her grandfather." ”

Courtyard Master Liu briefly explained the matter to Fan Ning.

"Don't blame a few professors for not speaking for you, after all, you've been here for too short, and they don't even know you, but the seven of them have been in the academy for three years, and each professor has taught them and values them very much, and it's normal for professors to want to leave opportunities for them."

It is understandable for the head of the academy to say a few kind words for the professors, but Fanning sees through the essence at a glance.

He is a child of the Fan family, if Fan Zhongyan does not lose power, I believe these professors will be another choice.

The human heart is very complex, especially the mind of the literati.

For a long time after the annual exam, Fan Ning thought that it was because he was the first in the exam, which stimulated the group of middle school students, especially the so-called Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest.

But by chance, he realized that he was still too simple to think about.

Xu Ji hates himself, not necessarily because of his achievements, I'm afraid Zhu Pei is the main reason, but what about the others?

Zhu Pei is not only the granddaughter of the richest man in Pingjiang Prefecture, but also a relative of the emperor, and her father is a high-ranking official in the court.

With such a superior family background, she came to Yanying Academy to study, and I don't know how many people want to please her and get close to her.

But she just shared the table with herself, and the many dissatisfaction caused can be imagined.

Xu Ji's words in the lantern riddle studio are the best proof.

Zhu Pei looks very good, her family background is so good, how many big families in Pingjiang Mansion are staring at her......

And now, he has found a reason why he hates himself.

That is the quota of the three county taxi selection competitions of Yanying Academy, which is related to whether everyone can participate in the children's examination.

What Liu Yuan Master is most worried about now is the relationship between Fan Ning and Xu Ji, these two seem to be on the same page, and he is very worried that there will be an accident in the county taxi selection competition.

"Fan Ning, I know that you and Xu Ji are at odds, but I still hope that you can cherish your hard-won qualifications, and I hope that you can all win the county taxi and jointly obtain the qualification to participate in the children's examination."

Fan Ning smiled faintly, "I can fully understand the feelings of the courtyard master, and I don't want any accidents, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, but I can promise the courtyard master that I will never take the initiative to provoke, but there is one thing I must say ugly things in front, and those who insult me, I will humiliate them." ”

．．．．．．．

When I got home, my mother Zhang Sanniang was sitting listlessly by the well washing clothes, if in Jiangwan Village, a large group of women gathered by the river to wash clothes, everyone talked and laughed, how happy, but in the town, there was not even a person to talk to.

Zhang Sanniang really regretted that she shouldn't have moved to town.

"Mother, I'm back!" Fanning walked briskly into the house.

Zhang Sanniang was a little surprised, "Today is not a mid-day holiday, how can Ning'er come back?" ”

Fanning went into the kitchen, found a big steamed bun, and said while nibbling: "There is something important today, and I must tell you about it." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhang Sanniang was a little nervous, her son should not be dropped out of school!

"That's right, in ten days it will be the second day of the second month of February, and the county will hold a county taxi selection competition, that is, a prodigy competition, and we will go to five people in the school, and I was selected."

Zhang Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief, and then her eyes widened, and her voice changed, "I heard it right!" My family Ning'er actually wants to participate in the prodigy competition? ”

Wu County's triennial prodigy competition has been some years, almost everyone in the villages of Wu County knows, in everyone's opinion, the prodigies who can participate in the competition are the best students in each school, is the sky of the little Wenqu star.

Don't say that Jiangwan Village, the surrounding ten miles and eight villages, I haven't heard of anyone participating.

Zhang Sanniang used to listen to her neighbor Liu Er's wife show off, and her nephew, who was studying in the county, participated in the prodigy competition, which made Liu Erniang show off for three years.

Every time she talks about it, she will have a psychological advantage in front of Zhang Sanniang.

And today, Zhang Sanniang heard that her son was also going to participate in the prodigy competition, how could she not be overjoyed.

"Ning'er, go and tell your father, he is not allowed to see a doctor at night today, let him come back for dinner."

"Mother, let me take a breath and go again!"

"Don't be verbose, go quickly!"

Fanning was kicked out of the house by his mother, and he had no choice but to go to his father's hospital.

When I walked into the Yishengtang pharmacy, I heard an earth-shattering howl, and the sound seemed to come from my father's medical hall.

Fan Ning was startled, and hurriedly stopped a guy who ran away and asked, "Brother Zhang, what's wrong with my father's medical hall?" ”

"Luo Yuan's external tooth extraction! A few people couldn't hold it down. ”

Fanning smiled dumbly, his father treated his legs and arms, and now he is a dentist again.

At this time, there was another roar from the medical hall, and Fanning hurriedly ran to the front of the medical hall, the curtain had been opened, and the outside was full of patients watching the excitement.

I saw a drunken fat man sitting on the small bed, holding a chair leg, and his eyes swept around fiercely, "Who dares to approach me?" ”

There were four or five men standing around, and his father Fan Tiezhou was holding a small iron tong in his hand, looking at this drunk man helplessly.

The drunk man waved his stick, pointed at Fan Tiezhou and said angrily: "You want to cut my throat with iron tongs, right?" ”

Fan Ning pulled the little medicine boy over and asked, "Aqing, what's the matter?" ”

"Little official, it's really funny to say!"

With a crying and laughing expression, Ah Qing explained to everyone, "This Luo Yuan's toothache has been a month, and his two sons persuaded him to come to extract the tooth easily, he was afraid of extracting the tooth, so he put forward conditions to the master, and when he was drunk, whatever the master wanted?" ”

"And then?" One patient asked.

"And then he drank too much, and that's what he is now."

Ah Qing was articulate and spoke quite vividly, and the patients around him laughed.

Fan Tiezhou put down the iron tongs, gave Luo Yuanwai's eldest son a look, and then withdrew from the hospital.

Luo Yuanwai's eldest son poured a bowl of wine over the wine jar and persuaded his father: "Daddy, this is the best Pingjiangqiao wine, you are usually reluctant to drink it." ”

Luo Yuan waved his hand, "Take it home and drink it!" ”

Knowing his father Mo Ruozi, Luo Yuanwai's son knows very well how to let his father drink this bowl of wine.

"Daddy, no! This is not our wine, this is the wine that Dr. Fan bought, how can we take it home? ”

"Isn't this wine our money?"

"It's not!"

"Then drink two more bowls, don't drink for nothing!"

He picked up the bowl, grunted, drank it all, poured another bowl, and before the second bowl was finished, he fell on the bed with his head tilted, and snored loudly.

Luo Yuanwai's eldest son gently pushed his father, and immediately shouted excitedly: "Doctor Fan, my father is drunk!" ”

Fan Tiezhou walked in and said, "Everyone hold him down, open his mouth, Aqing, prepare to gargle with salt water!" ”

．．．．．．．

After being busy for a long time, Luo Yuanwai's two sons finally lifted their father into the ox cart and the family left.

"Daddy will pull teeth?" Fanning walked in and smiled.

Fan Tiezhou washed his hands and said with a smile: "I have pulled out teeth for cattle before, and my craftsmanship is not unfamiliar. ”

Fanning was interested in the remaining half jar of wine, and when he was outside the house, he felt that this wine was very high, and it was different from the wine he usually drank.

Fanning poured a small bowl of wine, took it and tasted it, it was at least twenty degrees.

Usually, the liquor sold in the liquor store is even lighter than beer, and it tastes like sake.

Fan Tiezhou caught a glimpse of his son tasting wine, and hurriedly said, "Don't drink that wine, it's strong!" ”

"Daddy, what kind of wine is this?"

"It was brought by Luo Yuanwai's son, and it is the strongest wine in our Pingjiang Mansion, called Pingjiang Bridge."

Fanning suddenly had an idea in his heart, what would this wine look like if it was distilled again?

"Ning'er, is there something wrong with me?" Fan Tiezhou stepped forward and asked with a smile.

Fanning put down the wine bowl and said, "My mother asked me to come over, and she asked my father to go home for dinner today." ”

Fan Tiezhou smiled and said, "Why, is there any happy event?" ”

"Maybe it's because I'm going to compete in a prodigy competition!"

Fan Tiezhou was overjoyed, "You want to participate in the prodigy competition?" ”

Fan Ning nodded, "The academy master has already talked to me today, and I will represent the Yanying Academy." ”

Fan Tiezhou then understood why his wife was celebrating!

Fan Tiezhou can fully understand his wife's feelings, so he competed for this prodigy, and the lady of the Liu family next door showed off to her I don't know how many times?

Every time, she let her wife wash her face with tears and cry with her stupid son in her arms, and this time, she can also raise her eyebrows.

Thinking of his son's stupid appearance in the past, if the children in the village are not promising, the parents will use Ning'er to comfort their children, 'It's okay, at least it's better than the Fan family's dumbness.' ’

But today, his son is actually going to participate in the prodigy competition, and Fan Tiezhou only felt a burst of sour nose.

Although Fan Tiezhou was not as ecstatic about this as his wife, he also believed that it was definitely a great joy to celebrate.

Fan Tiezhou said with a smile: "Wait for me to clean up, let's go to Baiyun Restaurant to book a seat, and celebrate today!" ”
